Bold redirects in Navigational Templates (Navboxes)
Closed, DuplicatePublicFeature
Actions

Description

Feature summary
Bolden links in navigational templates when the link redirects to the current article.

Use case
For example, [[Personal Trainer: Walking]] redirects to [[Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine?]]. In the navigational template [[Template:Touch! Generations|]], the article is listed as ''Personal Trainer: Walking'', which would ideally appear bold while on the article [[Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine?]].

Benefits
This would benefit editors by not requiring changing [[Personal Trainer: Walking]] to [[Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine?|Personal Trainer: Walking]] whenever the page is moved. Redirected links in navigational templates are often left un-updated because the pages are moved long after editors last worked on the navigational templates.

Hi @TPI81AF, thanks for taking the time to report this!

User scripts, gadgets, templates, modules, custom CSS are local on-wiki content. Local content is managed independently on each wiki, by each wiki community themselves.
Phabricator is mostly used for MediaWiki, MediaWiki extensions, or server configuration, or by developers and teams to organize what they plan to work on.
If you are looking for help with the local code on a wiki, please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech instead.
This needs fixing on the local wiki by editing its local content. Thus I am closing this task here - thanks for your understanding.

This isn't an on-wiki content problem. It's a pie-in-the-sky feature request in the parser code, to say that links to pages that redirect to the current page should be bolded in the same way as direct links to the current page are.
